data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather
conditions.

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to

determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link
weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing

the data link weather product may be signif cantly older than the indicated
weather product age.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review
and understand all aspects of the GTX 3X5 Pilot’s Guide. Thoroughly
practice basic operation prior to actual use.

WARNING: The display surface is coated with a special anti-reflective
coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners.
It is very important to clean the lens using an eyeglass lens cleaner that
is specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings with a clean, lint-free
cloth.

CAUTION: The Garmin GTX 3X5 should be turned off before starting or
shutting down aircraft engine(s).
